ADA-ES to Supply Injection System to 790-MW New Coal-fired Plant

ADA-ES, Inc. has been awarded a commercial contract in excess of $1 million to supply activated carbon injection equipment to control mercury emissions from a new 790-MW coal-fired power plant being built in the Midwest. The system is designed to inject 6,000 tons of activated carbon per year to enable the plant to meet its mercury emission requirements. The equipment will also be capable of injecting the new brominated activated carbon (DARCO Hg-LH) produced by ADA-ES’s partner NORIT Americas. The ADA-ES mercury control equipment will be integrated with a dry scrubber and fabric filter provided by the Babcock & Wilcox Co. at the plant which is designed to burn Powder River Basin Coal from Wyoming.

Mike Durham, President of ADA-ES, stated, “Interest by utilities in our mercury control technology has substantially increased this year. We have provided quotes for activated carbon injection systems to over 80 power plants. Recent interest in commercial systems has accelerated over the past few months and we expect it to continue. Additionally, we are seeing many new coal-fired power plants being developed due in part to high natural gas prices. Many of these plants are required by permitting authorities to reduce mercury emissions in excess of 80 percent. This commercial project is the first to be awarded and is expected to represent as much as 15 percent of our revenues for 2005. We expect additional contracts to be awarded this year.”
